The Island Packet of Hilton Head reported the Melrose course on Daufuskie Island is lush even though it's operated without electricity for more than two months. The course closed for about six weeks after the Daufuskie Island Resort & Breathe Spa filed for bankruptcy in 2009. Head pro Patrick Ford and superintendent Nick Bright reopened the course and are maintaining it with dues voluntarily paid by residents.

The annual members' tournament starting Saturday will be a fundraiser to help pay to maintain the course.

Most beaches are packed in August, but not Daufuskie Island. Only accessible by ferry from nearby Hilton Head, Daufuskie Island is the dream for families who want a beach vacay without cars and crowds. You travel everywhere by golf cart or on foot — from the pay-what-you-wish art galleries to the volunteer-run community farm. You can walk to the beach from many of the island's adorable vacation rentals.
